I posit that the free market doesn't allow for the improvement of choices. Neither does centralization of Government.

Tedhnological expansion and improvement of intellectual occupations do this.

Yes, Free Market is not perfect.
While greater choice does not equal a happier society (try measuring happiness anyway), it helps to reduce confrontation. The more you regulate, the more incentives you give to rebel against the system. A higher degree of freedom is expected to be more politically stable even if it doesn't guarantee a beter lifestyle.

Behavioural Economics has sought to clarify such problems in its investigation of the manner in which information is shared and not shared between consumers and sellers.

I do not understand how Free Marketeers can continue to rely on this underlying assumption throughout all methods of debate.

Surely what we should be driving towards is a greater standard of living or longevity of such living not greater choice!

If I were to tell a Free Marketeer that we ought to restrict the ability for one to murder another, they would wholeheartedly agree! "Of course!" they would say! But when it comes to say restricting the ability for an individual who holds position in office to not be allowed to move from the public sector to the private sector after his retirement, they cry out that we are restricting their freedoms!

Well, I very much would like to tell you, it matters not to me if the freedoms of such an individual are restricted if they got into the job knowing such a thing would take place and knowing that such a decision would serve as a conflict of interest!

That isn't to say I am against the Free Market, only to the manner in which the debate is taken.

why don't the iqtards come out of the woodwork when a good thread posing them questions appears

Korea used to be an East Asian backwater but it's developed

>>2159755
Indeed. Once was a backwater, all of the sudden a major financial/economic player. I'd say their development was fueled by American investment and whatnot, but many (especially on this site) would say their IQ had something to do with it.

I think that's rubbish. If any /pol/ users would like to refute my OP, feel free. I'll be waiting.

>What's the logical conclusion of human society?


There isn't one. There will most likely be an endless progression of new forms of societal organization, which all are designed to solve the problems of yesterday and will create the problems of tomorrow.

>>2159472
i think humanity will eventually go into nuclear war and we will all start humanity over as spearchuckers

>>2159472
>Personally I don't think we'll ever be able to get our shit together due to our incompetence and generally corruptible nature.

We are on the verge of being able to modify our own nature, with things like genetic engineering. What will society look like if the dumbest person alive is as smart as the smartest person alive now? I don't know.

>>2159412
Right about everything.

Apart from the part regarding slav civilization.

>>2159260
Because Americans and the Brits just bombed everything to ashes thanks to their superior air force, they didn't need to run around like retards sniping individual soldiers.

>>2159260
Because only Finnish and Russian snipers were allowed to drink while on duty.

You have to post his picture too.

thats what robert e howard did, not tolkien.

JRR just loved language and mythology

I can't wait for communism, autists who make shit like this should rightfully be killed.

>>2159167
They had all kinds of berries that had vitamin C. Cloud berries, lingon berries, raspberries, blueberries and so forth.

They made alcohol out of them and would drink it in winter.

>>2159102

No.

What do you think?

>>2159102
Of course

>>2159004
Should Italy and the Roman Catholic community have to apologize for the destruction of the Second Temple and the expulsion of Jews from Israel?

>>2159021
That wasn't done by Christians though, it was by Roman pagans

>>2159026

And I forget, was nailing people to crosses a Roman or a Jewish execution method?

Does google image search describe this as "ome call it marxism i call it judaism" for anyone else?

>>2158997
Treason

>>2158997
Jew.

>>2159033
Ezra Pound said this.

Yes and no.
Yes in the context that we wouldn't tolerate poeple still doing certain things people used to do because of our own current standards.
No because at the same time in a historical those things would have been acceptable back then and condemning them doesn't undo them.

We wouldn't put pikes up people's backsides and parade them around like Vlad the impaler used to but we still accept he did that shit.

Not particularly. All past societies even 400 years ago would be so alien in morality that pretty much everyone would be a giant dickhead. Average citizens who went to church and sought salvation would also go to public executions and tortures like a Sunday picnic. Romans had slaves but trusted them with their lives and property, and the slaves felt love for their masters.

Context is key. Ghengis khan condemning people to death was not heinous for the time. Ghengis Khan ordering the massacre of a million Muslim inhabitants of Baghdad certainly was.

>>2158960

yes in certain areas, no on meme SJW/cultural marxist standards

>>2158951
>the state of being male or female (typically used with reference to social and cultural differences rather than biological ones).
Basically sex is real. Gender is spooks. Spooks being based on something real doesn't make them not spooks.

>>2158954
gender roles =/= gender?

>>2158951
I don't understand this. Gender is dependent on genital, not a mindset. I think the chart is confusing gender with preference.

>>2158925

Because they're as affected by public policy as everyone else; and it makes sense to broaden the base of support as widely as possible in order to give them a political outlet that doesn't involve violence.

>>2158925
Why should voting even be allowed?

>>2158925
so brexit could happen

>>2158783

Meaningless question. Next.

>a conscious progression?
What? I figure that by the time they were constructing tools for farming they were pretty sure what they were doing.

>>2158783
Feminist theory suggests that the neolithic revolution started because most men were sick of being marginalised by tribal chiefs who used to get most of the women, because they got most of the plunder


So they settle for a sedentary life and create agriculture because it gives them a stable amount of food for survival and enough to be attractive for a potential mate
